[QUOTE="Big Ewis, post: 594292, member: 57076"] "Studio Ghibli films", wth ? never heard of it. Oh, okay, just checked it out.. Well thanks for your reply j'nuh, as (almost :p) always, a pleasure ! Interesting you should bring up the fandom being "crossover" in the UK, as it's a lot more purist-like here. Not that I've seen many 20 yo geeks in the past few years, but it's true that in France guys will tend to become Japanese culture fanatics altogether. I've a guy on FB, an absolute paradigm of the 'french anime geek', who's now basically obsessed with all things Japanese pop-culture, and then actual culture. He writes in Japanese every once in a while on his status, he uses those annoying fukking little Japanese type smileys, lives and breathes animes, has learned thoroughly the language, and even went to Japan and called it the best time he's ever had. That's the French phenomenon, at about its highest peak, in all its glory. The regular geek though here is, yeh, the guy who plays video games the whole time, is usually pretty intelligent but has little life experience, is highly sensitive to anything at all, but there's definitely that longing for Japan and all things japanese lingering there... Oh, and they do usually love power metal :lol: [/QUOTE]
